feeling. shorty::

Totally loving shorts at the moment, picked up some vintage Levi's in London yesterday for £10 (bargain!!). Here's a few shorty looks I'm loving from Lookbook. Why is it the Swede's have impeccable style?!!

He Got Some Style::

Found this very good looking guy on lookbook, I absolutely love his style. He has a blog aswell which shows some pretty good photography and vocal skills! I do believe he was on Swedish pop idol too, ooooooh!

back to the 1980's::

I was definitely born in the right decade!

Drape me::

Was flicking through an Alix Gres book the other day for inspiration and completely fell in love with her draped dresses from 1950's/60's. I think all will agree they're pretty stunning. Wish I'd had time to visit the Met Museum while I was in NY.
On another note though I think we'll be seeing similar dresses to these cropping up on the high street as draping looks to be the new seasons next big trend. If so I definately want one as its the perfect feminine statement...

Ankle Appeal::

Last Christmas at a drunken dinner party one of the guys revealed, much to my astonishment, that he thought the sexiest part of a woman was her ankles. But to tell the truth I've always had a bit of a thing for ankle boots, specifically of the sky scraper variety. I could'nt possibly tell you how utterley, extremely and completely ecstatic I was when I kept seeing more and more little ankle beauties appearing all over the place. Here's a few of my current affordable favourites by Gap, Office and River Island.

Lussssssssh :)

eye DECO::

I've been noticing lately more and more people decorating their eyes and I like i like i like.
My friend Holly has always dressed to suit her mood and she has always decorated her eyes which reflects this, with either false lashes, gems or make up and it always looks amazing. So obviously more people from her uni have caught on and I've seen people around my uni too and the trend grows on and on...

NEED NEED NEED::

I was so happy when I ventured in to Topshop last week to check out the sale and found a beautiful crystal (looking) encrusted skirt that I could call my very own. I also got very attached to one of the most beautiful jackets I've ever seen and I may just have to make an investment....

i am tres jaloux!

Crystal CRUSH::

At the moment my absolute trend crush is anything sparkly, shiny or glittery. I love the girlyness of it all and of course how instantly glammed up wearing sparkly things makes you feel. In the past I've kept all things sparkly solely to the job of my jewellery, which I feel lost without now. Another ab-fab thing about glitter is that it catches the light and so smoothes out your silhouette, and who doesnt love a streamlined figure?

A few of my favourite sparklers straight off the catwalk are Marios Schwab's crystal encrusted slivers...

Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci is another collection that caught my eye...

Balenciaga have also jumped on the sparkly bandwagon....

*Exact Attitudes*

I came across this website about the dress codes and identitys of social groups by photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek. The series is called Exactitudes because it's a contraction of exact and attitude. I found some of the pictures quite funny, especially trying to match your friends dress code to one of the social groups identites. See if you can find a group that matches your identity! I couldn't! The groups are quite retro and reminiscent of 90's trends. I liked the London cassette gang the most and everybody knows a flowerpower guy!
